MEDICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN EASTERN ANTARCTIC
Abstract
Physiological investigations were intended to study man's acclimatization in the Antarctic. The purpose of the observations was to explain the following problems: (1) Does the human organism experience any changes under conditions of long-lasting work in the Antarctic and what kind of change; (2) Are such changes dangerous to normal vitality of the organism; (3) What factors do cause the changes; (4) How rapidly do these changes develop and for how long are they preserved after leaving the Antarctic (how long do the physiological or pathophysiological changes last); and (5) Do such displacement develop in the human organism under conditions of travelling in the tropics. On the basis of collected data, a comparative analysis was made of the process of acclimatizing in Central Arctic and in the Antarctic.
